Quick Weight Loss with KApex Digestive Enzymes by BioOptimizers!
I had something pretty cool happen to me this past year! I usually take a two week vacation and especially love a road trip. I always stay as active as my time allows squeezing in a quick mile walk and part run if my time is limited. I often plan a road trip around walking, exploring and hiking activities. As I begin to settle into my new, relaxed two week life, my circadian rhythm begins to change and correct itself. I continue to follow my keto lifestyle which I find intuitive and easy to maintain even while driving and on vacation. I often don’t feel hungry at the end of the day of driving; tending to nibble, drink coffee and water and have picnics. I find that when I come back from vacation I have generally lost two pounds.
On my southwest road trip in the summer of 2019, I enjoyed listening to as many bulletproof podcasts as were available. I find all the information I listen to enlightening in many ways. Often I laugh and sometimes I cry. Most of the time I am excited. I enjoy being a part of this tribe of biohacking health detectives sharing such positive information. Bulletproof radio and all the people who come together to share their life’s work is so invigorating for me. It has become my on-line classroom. As I listen, I acquire a lot of information and new ideas to implement for my health and wellbeing as I biohack my own health in positive ways. My favorite topic on this trip was BiOptimizer Enzymes.
I had listened to a BiOptimizer podcast and had received their enzymes and probiotic in my biohacker box. I hadn’t yet fully implemented using the enzymes. I had felt an urge to pack them before leaving home for vacation but didn’t. So here I was driving through the southwest kicking myself mentally for not packing them because as I listened to their new podcast I wanted these enzymes. Why was I so excited? I now understood that I could naturally speed up my weight loss with their products. They also had a new keto enzymes formula, KApex. Count me in! I was excited to begin a new biohack, turn a new page and begin to lose weight again but along a new avenue—a route I was missing.
I had been taking enzymes intermittently over the years and was still learning and understanding how they all work together for digestion and the microbiome. Sometimes you hear something but aren’t yet ready to understand and fully implement the idea with action. I was ready now and paying full attention.
When I got home from vacation I bought six bottles (for their best discount) of their new keto enzyme, KApex. My health is important to me. But weight loss has and always will be my passion to solve, understand and conquer. Having been overweight, feeling depressed and insecure most of my life this is now something I take seriously. This was a no-brainer for me. This was something I needed to do for my personal health and outlook on life. I consider this an investment in my future. I was privy to new information and I had the drive to implement it. And I was excited! Done!
I had been plateaued on weight loss for a solid 3 years. I successfully no longer struggled to keep from gaining weight and I felt good on my BP keto lifestyle. My brain was turned on, I was building new neural pathways in my brain, I was changing my life and educating myself in functional health. I felt my life and my goals were pretty good. I was happy where I was. To my delight, I discovered life can be better with a little time, effort and exploration.
I have been sensitive to full-spectrum enzymes which made me nauseous, but I didn’t know why. Therefore, I didn’t fully explore enzymes. I used enzymes sporadically. I only recommended basic enzymes and HCL because this is where my knowledge and personal experience was. Then I started KApex and the full-spectrum enzyme, Masszymes along with the P3OM proteolytic probiotic. I didn’t feel very good in the beginning. Initially I had some nausea and even threw up once with Masszymes. With KApex My gut felt weird and I burped a lot. I felt the urge to use the bathroom more often. But I was determined to take it slowly letting my system get used to them. I could easily take one KApex or Masszymes enzyme but two made me uncomfortable or nauseous. It did give me a good bowel cleanse. I began to realize that this cleanse was all part of a healing effect I needed to go through. I could soon take four KApex on an empty stomach and two with a meal. I could take two Masszymes at night. The Kapex enzymes were energizing. It was recommended not to take the Kapex past 4 pm as it is energizing at the cellular level and it would be hard to sleep. Oh well, I had a few troubled nights, but I like being energized most days and had found a new tool to power through my days.
I felt really good. I noticed my appetite changed. I still ate very similarly. I had BP coffee am and did intermittent fasting as usual eating lunch around 1pm and finishing dinner by 6 or 7pm.. I actually started to lose weight. I was delightfully surprised. I was losing about a pound a week and losing inches. Before my summer vacation August 1, 2019, I weighed 154 pounds. When I returned I weighed 152. By the end of November I weighed 136 pounds! That was 3-½ months and every week I was personally pleased and yet still amazed. I was able to throw out my size 12s and then 10s pant sizes. I could actually wear an 8! I had finally reached a place in my life where I felt I could lose weight and I wouldn’t gain it back. The results with KApex were powerful. I just couldn’t believe it even as I went through the process and experienced the weight loss. I had so long been overweight and felt powerless. Not anymore!
What had happened? I took the KApex in the morning and at meals. The Masszymes and probiotic I used with dinner and on an empty stomach at night as a proteolytic enzyme which is used as a cleanse. Here is what I believe happened when I began the BiOpimizer enzymes, probiotics and KApex with my keto diet. These enzymes cleansed my intestinal tract. I could feel that something shifted as I had an increase in bowel movements. They helped me utilize my fats instead of just eliminating them. It definitely helped me burn the fats and proteins I ate and accelerate digestion and energy. KApex has four fungal lipases that work at different ph levels in the intestinal tract that went to work within me. It also has proteolytic proteases, HCL, dandelion, l-carnitine, co-q10, 7-keto dhea and Innoslim. “KApex accelerates the digestion, absorption, utilization and breakdown of fats in the body,” per BiOptimizers. The L-carnitine helps to transport fatty acids into cells to burn fat. With co-q10 as a catalyzer and 7 keto Dhea, it increases metabolic rate in the mitochondria burning fatty acids for energy. It also increases the fat burning hormone adiponectin and lifts Glut4, the insulin regulated glucose transporter to reduce inflammation. With Innoslim, it boosts AMPK in muscles and fat cells significantly, increasing fatty acid oxidation and fat burning. Now you know why I was so excited. It worked beyond my expectations (I had hope!). You don’t need to be on a keto diet to utilize it. It will still give you benefits and energy while digesting fats and proteins. Wade Lightheart of BiOptimizers, a vegetarian and not keto, said “it noticeably helped me digest the fats I was eating that I have been having trouble digesting.” It is a wonderfully made enzyme and when I heard about it I was ready for the information and happy to apply it to my daily supplement regimen.
Four months later, I have stabilized my weight at 138lbs. At 57 I am still optimizing my weight loss. I am listening to and learning from bulletproof radio, audio books, reading and attending Marie Forelo’s B-School for business. The future is laid open for me with many possibilities. I am planning a bright and excitement-filled future where I decide what happens. I am studying Functional Diagnostic Nutrition this year.
